While you sadly won’t be able to cheer on the homeside, you will be able to choose from some great venues to watch the teams that did make it to this year’s World Cup in Russia.

The Criterion, St Andrews

One of St Andrews' few remaining family run pubs and the winner of this year’s Best Pub at the Scottish Entertainment and Hospitality Awards, this popular watering hole is sure to be even busier come 14 June.

If the competition heats up too much, there’s a beer garden to relax in, and hungry spectators can dig into gigantic nacho plates and potato skins.
